SAFER IN THE SADDLE WITH DYNEEMA®
Cycling is one of the world's most popular sports, practiced in many forms: road racing, track cycling and BMX, to name but a few. During a bicycle race, speeds of up to 110 km/hr can be reached during a typical downhill descent - and the danger of a serious crash is always present. Common crash injuries include serious cuts and bruises on arms and legs, causing discomfort, limiting a cyclist's performance and possibly elimination from the race.
Ghent, Belgium - Additives innovator Milliken & Company puts the energy saving potential of its Millad® NX™ 8000 clarifying agent for polypropylene (PP) at your fingertips with the launch of the Millad NX 8000 Savings Calculator App.
Sittard, the Netherlands - June 18, 2012 - Customers in the future will benefit from lighter weight, more efficient and lower cost solar thermal panels as a result of an exclusive, worldwide agreement between SABIC and VU University Amsterdam (VU). The objective of the collaboration is to develop and commercialize the university’s technology invention to keep the temperature in solar energy collectors under control. 
BERGEN OP ZOOM, The Netherlands – June 14, 2012 – With approximately 70 gigawatts (GW) of cumulative global installations, PV systems represent the third most important renewable energy source – after hydroelectric and wind power – in terms of capacity1. As demand for solar power rises, SABIC is helping to drive the feasibility and integration of this increasingly preferred energy source by launching today the first polycarbonate (PC) building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) panels for roofing, cladding and glazing applications. This new innovative solution from SABIC’s Innovative Plastics business, called Lexan* BIPV panel, provides architects and builders with enhanced design freedom, thermal insulation, easy installation and energy production in a single, integrated solution. Created through a close collaboration between SABIC and Solbian Energie Alternative, an innovative flexible photovoltaic (PV) production company, Lexan* BIPV panels combine tough, lightweight, transparent Lexan Thermoclear* PC sheet with flexible PV laminated crystalline cells from Solbian and are available in a broad range of structures, configurations and colors. Lexan BIVP panels demonstrate SABIC’s deep commitment to its customers by supporting the evolving trends and environmental needs for more sustainable designs while driving improved material technologies in the building and construction industry.
